● LYONS TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL ● DISTRICT 204
Dear LT School Community,

We are writing to share an exciting update with you. 

The Lyons Township High School District 204 Board of Education is considering a potential sale of the District-owned Willow Springs property. The property is located near 79th Street and Willow Springs Road, and was purchased by the District in two separate parcels in 1955 and 1962.

As outlined in the District’s recently adopted strategic plan, LTHS has a goal to allocate the resources necessary to maximize success for all students, and proceeds from the potential property sale would contribute to demonstrable progress toward achieving this goal. 

If the Board decides to sell the property, the District would likely use the sale proceeds to make key investments and upgrades to its facilities, as prioritized in the District’s Strategic Plan. Results from a facility assessment conducted in January 2021, and initial feedback from a community-engaged facilities study conducted in Fall 2022 have begun to highlight community priorities. Future facilities efforts would likely center on items such as: 

  • Modernization of existing classrooms to meet 21st century learning needs
  • Development of additional collaborative spaces for students and staff
  • Accessibility and life safety upgrades
  • Improvements and additions to student and community athletic and wellness facilities
  • Upgrades to HVAC systems and further installation of air conditioning for improved temperature control

To learn more about District 204’s exploration of a potential property sale, please visit www.ltwillowspringsproperty.org. We look forward to sharing next steps with our community through a variety of communication channels in the weeks and months ahead.  

Sincerely,

Lyons Township High School District 204 Board of Education
